Stitch Types

Directions

Note

1. Do not stitch red outline stocking.

Stocking

1. Stitch design centered on fabric over two threads.

2. After stitching is completed, place fusible fleece on wrong side of stocking, covering all red lines. Cut stocking shape 1/2” beyond red lines and 1” beyond top edge. Fold top edge in several rows; press.

3. Cut two 18”x11” pieces of backing/lining fabric with right sides together. Position fabric under stocking and cut to shape leaving an additional 4” fabric at top. Layer pieces as follows: fabric right side up, design right side up, fabric wrong side up. Pin and stitch 1/2” seams, leaving top edge open and small gap at bottom for tucking in braid. Finish top raw edges by folding over 1/2” to wrong side; stitch.

4. Turn stocking to wrong side creating a lining and backing. Slipstitch lining to folded top edge of cross-stitch, catching cording securely.
